J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Racing Tools and Techniques Flying the #3 Genoa

Taras,

I assume you used the track on the cabin top inboard of the shrouds and pass the sheets through the blocks on that. When close hauled, the clew is almost to the block on this track. Off the wind, the shape is less than optimal. I have sometimes rigged blocks on the stanchion base for extended reaches with the #3 in order to get better sail shape.
